Us: How was your trip? Any issues we should know about?

Client: I think it would be good to warn travelers about how much poverty there is, particularly in the Ica region. I wasn't expecting there to be so much rubble and trash due to the recent earthquake. I'm really glad we went there, but I don't think I was mentally prepared to see all of that.

First of all, I was there just this weekend and it looks far from Japan or Katrina wreckage... Second, what did she think going to a developing country was going to be like???
